we try to choose locations or times where the number of people is as low as it can be, but it&#8217;s not something any of us can control, so you need to be happy having your photoshoot in public (though in the many photoshoots we&#8217;ve done in urban locations we&#8217;ve always found &#8216;the public&#8217; are a bit like spiders &#8211; your fear of them is far greater than any amount of interest they might have in you!),<\/li>\n<li>some places have land-owners who won&#8217;t let you do a photoshoot on their land until you&#8217;ve formally obtained their permission and, usually, paid them for the privilege of doing so (almost nowhere in a town or city is &#8216;free&#8217; nowadays); however, we&#8217;ve carried out numerous photoshoots in urban locations and streets and have only been told to stop on two occasions, so we&#8217;re happy to do this if that&#8217;s what you&#8217;d like,<\/li>\n<li>urban environments aren&#8217;t particularly &#8216;child-friendly&#8217; &#8211; you&#8217;ll find children will get bored quicker in an urban environment than indoors or in a rural location, so if you&#8217;re after a family photoshoot we&#8217;d generally advise against using an urban location,<\/li>\n<li>if you want to be able to change your outfit during the photoshoot we need to consider that in advance, so that we can plan the location accordingly &#8211; that shouldn&#8217;t stop you from having an urban location, it just means that more advance planning is required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>But please don&#8217;t take that as a list of negatives, beacuse we find<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>urban locations can look fabulous,<\/li>\n<li>they can be raw and gritty, but also modern and cool at the same time,<\/li>\n<li>they can offer a great contrast against stylish clothes, or can easily complement any type of casual look,<\/li>\n<li>and often they can help us take a &#8216;normal&#8217; portrait and change it into a fashion-styled photoshoot,<\/li>\n<li>so if an urban photoshoot is on your wishlist, let&#8217;s have a chat about what that means to you and how we might make it work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beeskneesphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/street-portrait-of-a-woman-in-a-summers-hat-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"street portrait a woman in a summers hat\" data-id=\"6406\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.beeskneesphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/street-portrait-of-a-woman-in-a-summers-hat.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.beeskneesphotos.com\/blog\/street-portrait-of-a-woman-in-a-summers-hat\/\" class=\"wp-image-6406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beeskneesphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/street-portrait-of-a-woman-in-a-summers-hat-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.beeskneesphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/street-portrait-of-a-woman-in-a-summers-hat-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.beeskneesphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/street-portrait-of-a-woman-in-a-summers-hat-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.beeskneesphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/street-portrait-of-a-woman-in-a-summers-hat-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.beeskneesphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/street-portrait-of-a-woman-in-a-summers-hat-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.beeskneesphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/street-portrait-of-a-woman-in-a-summers-hat-780x520.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.beeskneesphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/street-portrait-of-a-woman-in-a-summers-hat.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beeskneesphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/woman-in-a-beret-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"woman in a beret\" data-id=\"6408\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.beeskneesphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/woman-in-a-beret.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.beeskneesphotos.com\/blog\/woman-in-a-beret\/\" class=\"wp-image-6408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beeskneesphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/woman-in-a-beret-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.beeskneesphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/woman-in-a-beret-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.beeskneesphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/woman-in-a-beret-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.beeskneesphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/woman-in-a-beret-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.beeskneesphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/woman-in-a-beret-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.beeskneesphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/woman-in-a-beret-780x520.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.beeskneesphotos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/woman-in-a-beret.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>More information<\/h3>\n<p>Alternatively, we&#8217;ve got some more location advice on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"\/blog\/should-you-have-an-indoor-or-an-outdoor-photoshoot\/\">Should you have an indoor or an outdoor photoshoot?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/blog\/should-we-have-a-photoshoot-in-a-rural-location\/\">Should we have a photoshoot in a rural location?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/blog\/which-indoor-location-should-i-choose-for-our-photoshoot\/\">Which indoor location should I choose for our photoshoot?<\/a><\/li>\n<li>otherwise you might find our <a href=\"\/galleries\/photos-in-urban-locations.php\">urban gallery<\/a>, our <a href=\"\/galleries\/photos-in-rural-locations.php\">rural gallery<\/a>, or our <a href=\"\/galleries\/photos-in-indoor-locations.php\">indoor gallery<\/a> useful to see the types of photos we&#8217;ve created in these locations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Urban locations can look great for photoshoots &#8211;
